Indian Culture Center of CanadaGurdwara Nanak Niwas 8600, No.5 Road, Richmond is the third stage of the historical journey of Gurdwaras of Vancouver. First Stage was the gurudwara at 1866, 2nd Ave, Vancouver and the Second stage was Gurudwara at 8000 Ross Street, Vancouver.In 1970's due to some relaxations in immigration rules and due to the availability of family class visa , a large numbers of Sikhs immigrated to Canada to reside permanently.Because of a big increase in Sikh population in a short period of time increase in the number of gurdwaras was quite natural and necessary.Secondly a gap between the thinking of new comers and those living in Canada for three generations was not an unnatural. To avoid any ideological confrontation sons/grandsons of those Sikhs who came here in the beginning of 20th century decided to establish a new gurdwara to fulfill their religious needs.
